Crescent Guidelines

Cayélle Publishing

[LGBT ROMANCE] Some romances are more than love. They’re relationships that shape and mold possibility. The very core of a love that endures alienation and a fight for its existence is a Crescent.

Specifically, we want:

Moderately paced stories with chapter-ending cliffhangers.
Proven category tropes including, but not limited to, closeted romance, narcissist vs empath, rebounds, and sexual exploration.
Stories featuring W/W or M/M
Romance must be the central plot. The couple should be together on almost every page.
Substantial conflict. Explore more than common alienation. Delve into the everyday human issues that can impede the due course of happily ever after.
POV should be split 50/50 between the couple. 3rd person POV is preferred. No secondary characters should have their own POV.
The heat level should be anywhere from a simmering spark to blazing.
Manuscripts must be complete at 45-65K words in length. Novellas must be complete at 30-40K words.
Single or series titles
A concise and compelling query, with synopsis, is required for submission.

We will not accept any submissions containing the following:

Age play/pedophilia
Bestiality. Steamy shape-shifter sex (in human form) is welcome.
Edge play. Including, but not limited to, blood, breath, scat/urine, knife, and gun. If it’s not safe, we’re not interested.
Incest. No blood relatives, please. We do, however, accept stepsiblings, and in-laws.
Necrophilia
Rape as titillation
